背景：在2008年全球健康大学联盟（CUGH）的成立大会上，与会者讨论了全球健康项目的快速扩张以及缺乏标准化的能力和课程来指导这些项目。2013年，中央卫生研究院任命了一个全球卫生能力小组委员会，并责成该小组委员会确定适用于各个学科的广泛的全球卫生核心能力。本文件的目的是描述小组委员会的工作和建议的全球卫生专业间能力清单。方法在就指导小组委员会工作的全球卫生定义达成一致意见后，成员们进行了广泛的文献审查，以确定与全球卫生相关的所有领域的现有能力。小组委员会成员初步确定了12个不同领域的82项能力，并提出了4个不同的能力水平。建议的能力和领域在多次电话会议中进行了讨论，小组委员会成员投票决定将最终的能力纳入四个建议的能力水平中的两个（全球公民和基本业务水平-面向项目）。最终的建议清单包括全球公民级别的8个领域共13项能力，以及基本业务计划导向级别的11个领域共39项能力。结论：有必要进行持续的辩论和对话，以验证所提出的一系列能力，并需要进一步的研究，以确定将这些能力纳入全球健康教育计划的最佳策略。未来的研究应侧重于在一系列教育计划中实施和评估这些能力，并进一步描述所有四个提出的能力水平所需的能力。
BACKGROUND At the 2008 inaugural meeting of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH), participants discussed the rapid expansion of global health programs and the lack of standardized competencies and curricula to guide these programs. In 2013, CUGH appointed a Global Health Competency Subcommittee and charged this subcommitteewith identifying broad global health core competencies applicable across disciplines.OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to describe the Subcommittee's work and proposed list of interprofessional global health competencies.METHODS After agreeing on a definition of global health to guide the Subcommittee's work, members conducted an extensive literature review to identify existing competencies in all fields relevant to global health. Subcommittee members initially identified 82 competencies in 12 separate domains, and proposed four different competency levels. The proposed competencies and domains were discussed during multiple conference calls, and subcommittee members voted to determine the final competencies to be included in two of the four proposed competency levels (global citizen and basic operational level - program oriented).FINDINGS The final proposed list included a total of 13 competencies across 8 domains for the Global Citizen Level and 39 competencies across 11 domains for the Basic Operational Program-Oriented Level.CONCLUSIONS There is a need for continued debate and dialog to validate the proposed set of competencies, and a need for further research to identify best strategies for incorporating these competencies into global health educational programs. Future research should focus on implementation and evaluation of these competencies across a range of educational programs, and further delineating the competencies needed across all four proposed competency levels.
